O:

P: The purpose of writing this biography is to record and share Rosa Park’s life story in an objective fashion.

V: It provides context to the bus boycott that Rosa Parks led, and it shines a light on Rosa Parks beyond being a leader of the Montgomery bus boycott. It is also very accessible in that the author does not use extravagant language. 

L: The author is a white cisgender male, and the biography includes a fact, that Rosa Parks was too tired to give her seat up, in which Rosa Parks did not approve of. Instead, she stated in her book Rosa Parks: My Story published on 1999 that ‘[she] was not tired physically,’ but how ‘the only tired [she] was, was tired of giving in.’

Rosa Parks was one of the people who sprouted intersectional feminism, based on her Black rights activism, the treatment she got as a black woman activist, and her shift to feminist movements in the 1970s; yet she is not the sole figure of the development of intersectional feminism in Parks herself was inspired by other strong women throughout history and because there were many activists before, during, and after Rosa Parks’ life who worked or are working hard for different identities of many women to be accepted along with their femininity.
